Question

I’m doing an insert MySQL query in PHP with something like this:

$inserto= sprintf("INSERT INTO processing (orderid, ordert, usr, status, date, orderType) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
    GetSQLValueString($OID,"int"),
    GetSQLValueString($tempbody,"text"),
    GetSQLValueString($_COOKIE[TENNuser],"text"),
    GetSQLValueString("0","int"),
    GetSQLValueString(date("d-m-Y"),"text"),
    GetSQLValueString('1','int'));

Sometimes it works fine, other times I get a duplicate entry error. I know why it’s happening, it’s because some orderid are technically the same sometimes (which is normal). The problem is that orderid isn’t the primary key. I have an “id” field that auto increments and THAT is the primary key.

Any idea what could be happening?

Answer 1

Didn’t check the indexes and there it was, the orderid field was set to UNIQUE.

It’s going to be a long day. Thanks Marc B.
